Figure 1 | Hepatic steatosis results from an imbalance in lipid storage and lipolysis or secretion. Hepatic steatosis can result from different processes: increased fatty acid (FA) uptake, de novo lipogenesis and triglyceride synthesis combined with lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis or growth; decreased LD catabolism (including decreased fatty acid oxidation); or impaired triglyceride or very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion. Factors associated with these processes are listed in the figures, those that upregulate steatosis (green boxes) and those that downregulate steatosis (orange boxes).
